Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Ora, IN.

Substance abuse rehab programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
